The Future of subway and rapid transit in the GTA

[Northern Light]

I wonder whether the GTAA is still keeping a candle in the window for their Pearson intermodal hub plan

The GTAA and the government continue to envision Pearson being and hosting a large transit hub.

I agree humber bay shores is very under serviced by transit

The park lawn go was originally supposed to open by 2025... now they are saying 2032-2035 which is crazy

I feel like a ferry service could be set up a lot faster than the Park Lawn GO Station. Surely in the interim (and into the future) a ferry transit line could connect Humber Bay to the Jack Layton terminal, and potentially the Portlands. NYC runs ferries as transit, as do lots of cold-weather cities like Stockholm and Helsinki

You don't even have to look outside of Canada. Vancouver & Halifax.

The coasts aren't real.

Does this fit anywhere in Toronto?

Only place I've ever heard it suggested before was a potential line from Broadview Station to the Brick Works.

Maybe one day there will be a cable car connecting Broadview Station to an Evergreen Brick Works Midtown GO Line Station. Would be pretty cool actually.

It's also been suggested to cross the eastern gap.

Same, that's the only one I remember.

I'm sure there would be some use other use cases on a lower ridership route but can't think of a good example.
